What did you guys put for the "Behavioral sciences" prereq?
I am not sure which courses fall into humanities

3. Please provide a chronological list with dates AND a brief description of your clinical experiences/shadowing."
For the brief description, did you guys stick to a couple sentences or did you fill write to meet the 500 word count?

Definitely kept it brief and straightforward
Does anyone know what to do if you have overlap between the chronological lists? For example, I have clinical experiences that are also employment so not sure if I choose to keep it in only one? But it asks for chronological lists so I'm not sure because then would I need to repeat a brief description?
That's what I did and submitted it because I don't even know what a citizenship number is
The naturalized citizenship number is on the top of your Certificate of Naturalization (the one they give you when you take the oath of allegiance)
no reason you couldn't do that, since the AMCAS app limits the number of activity entries you could make
question 3 asks for a brief description and question 4 just asks for a list with the dates, so yes just follow their instructions.

How much do they weigh casper in the decisions process/deciding who gets an II?

Just to confirm, when they ask for your composite MCAT score, they mean in one sitting and not a super-score, correct?

Do we know if there is any rhyme or reason to when people get secondaries? Or is it just completely random?
I applied previously and only got a secondary in early August, but this cycle, I got my secondary in late June. Wondering if that's a good sign or nothing to read into

For the research question, I have no previous experience working on official research. Should I mention that and show my interest in pursuing research opportunities at Miami Miller? I feel like I'm shooting myself in the leg here.
def do that! It shows that you put effort in

For "Please briefly discuss your research experience", I discussed my experience and tied it to my future goals and UMiami, I was given advice by an advisor that "they don't ask about your goals, they ask about your experience." So should I remove the part about my future goals?
Did you list upper division courses over intro courses as they are more recent?
Yeah I would remove the future goals, they aren't asking about that. It's just you providing some more information about your research background

But my goals are connected to the research background, and tied directly to why I want to attend UMiami - IDK I guess I'm just very confused b/c I was trying to show fit
I would mention it that in the why Miami essay

Does anyone know where we put lab courses if they are separate? The app says "* Do not enter lab courses in this prerequisites section," but I am not sure where else to put them. Thanks!
On MSAR under MCAT considerations, they put that they consider the highest total score.

Superscoring would be cherry-picking your best sub scores from your MCAT tests.
Highest total score = your 512 being better than your 509, even if you scored higher on the CARS sub score in your 509 attempt.
Got it. Thank you!

Hilarious. I tried looking for something to click to follow a thread but couldn't find anything. Thanks for pointing that out.
For "a description of your travel experience/activities involving sports", does that mean just a cut and dry description or are they looking for little stories and stuff? Also...is everyone filling the 500 word limit for questions that are asking for more than just a list?
tell a story! aka why you enjoy these things
Thank you!

I submitted a couple days ago and it still says that my LORs aren't received. My school definitely sent them out though. Anyone know if I should contact admissions or just wait to see if they get confirmed?

I saw a reddit post from last year where someone was "under-review" the entire cylce, and when asked why, Miller replied saying their Casper score was insufficient for an interview. As someone who did very poorly on Casper, I hope it isn't true.
Yikes I’m trying to decide if it’s even worth submitting a secondary then
